11 “Howl, inhabitants of the Mortar,[a]
    because all the merchants will be destroyed
        and all who handle money will be killed.

12 “At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those
    who are satisfied with their hardened lifestyle,
    who think that Yahweh won’t do anything—good or bad.
13 Their wealth will be looted.
    Their homes will be demolished.
        They will build houses, but they won’t live in them.
        They will plant vineyards, but they won’t drink their wine.”
